Our patented rotary X-Engine and High Efficiency Hybrid Cycle (HEHC) are designed to deliver greater power density, efficiency, and fuel flexibility than traditional piston engines.\nOur technology is being developed for demanding applications including UAVs and drones, defense, aerospace, portable power, and hybrid-electric systems. At LiquidPiston, engineers have the opportunity to work directly on real hardware and see their work move from the lab to a running engine.\nInternship Overview\nLiquidPiston is seeking a motivated Electrical Engineering Intern to join our Electronics team for Summer 2027. This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on the electrical and control systems that power our next-generation engines.\nYou’ll gain practical experience across embedded firmware, electronics, sensors, controls, and hardware testing while contributing to active engineering and development programs. Rather than simply observing or supporting from the sidelines, you’ll have the opportunity to troubleshoot real engineering problems, work with test hardware, analyze data, and contribute to solutions that are tested on actual engine systems.\nThis internship is ideal for an engineering student who enjoys hands-on problem solving and wants exposure to the full development process - from circuit and firmware development through hardware integration, testing, troubleshooting, and iteration.\nKey Responsibilities\nSupport the design, prototyping, and testing of analog and digital circuits, signal-conditioning boards, and power electronics.\nPerform hands-on electrical testing and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies, and data acquisition equipment.\nAssist with schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware prototyping using tools such as Altium Designer.\nAssist with the development, testing, and debugging of embedded firmware in C for TI C2000 microcontrollers.\nSupport the integration and testing of sensors including pressure, temperature, speed, voltage, and current sensors.\nWork with actuators and communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, and RS-232.\nSupport bench testing and data analysis of engine control systems and closed-loop PID controls.\nTroubleshoot electrical and controls issues and work with engineers to identify and implement solutions.\nCollaborate with mechanical, firmware, controls, and test engineers during system integration and validation.\nDocument test results, circuit designs, troubleshooting activities, and technical findings.\nParticipate in an iterative engineering environment where designs are tested, improved, and tested again.\nRequired QualificationsCurrently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.\nStrong understanding of analog and digital circuits and fundamental electrical engineering principles.\nSolid programming experience in C or C++.\nHands-on experience with electrical laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and function generators.\nStrong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to work hands-on with hardware and collaborate effectively with a multidisciplinary engineering team.\nStrong attention to detail and a willingness to learn in a fast-paced R&D environment.\nAbility to work onsite five days per week.\nPreferred Skills & ExperienceExperience with TI C2000 or other microcontroller/DSP platforms.\nExperience with embedded systems or firmware development.\nFamiliarity with PCB design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, or KiCad.\nKnowledge of power electronics, motor control, or battery management systems.\nExperience working with CAN bus or other communication protocols.\nExperience with sensors, actuators, data acquisition, or engine/vehicle control systems.\nFamiliarity with PID control or other closed-loop control methods.\nPrior internship, research, or academic project experience involving embedded systems, controls, electronics, automotive, aerospace, or propulsion technology.\nOur CultureAt LiquidPiston, we challenge convention and solve hard problems. We move fast, think boldly, and iterate quickly. Our team thrives on collaboration, creativity, and resilience. We take calculated risks and believe that every setback is a steppingstone toward breakthrough innovation.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nLiquidPiston, Inc. is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
